We posted photos last week of the first "Con" to setup in Campbell. It's been getting good reviews and I can attest that I think this reviewer with Shortboxed got it right. It was a cute bite sized con with a little of everything. It was a perfect Con for Campbell folks who want to check out the scene to see what the fuss is all about without having to plunk down a hefty multi-day entrance fee on top of a hotel room 12 hours down the road. It was their first year and they were encourage by how things went so they've already said they're going to be back for 2016! Be sure to keep your eye out for the 2016 date via the Downtown Campbell site or the Campbell Con site.

Alvarado Street Brewery and Grill has just launched a brand new, seasonal fall menu highlighting Chef Jeremiah Tydeman’s take on simple, American classics executed with international influence. The new menu comes in a sleek new format, designed by local studio The Wecker Group.
“We wanted to reinvent the feel of our menus to evoke a fun, more approachable aesthetic that fits to our concept better,” says head brewer and co-owner, JC Hill. “Chef Jeremiah has completely transformed the menu, adding a new dynamic that called for an entirely fresh look.” Hill was able to squeeze in a “Beer & Food 101” section in the new menu as a pairing guide to educate the brewery’s patrons.
Chef Tydeman was brought onto the Alvarado Street team in June of this past summer and has slowly been introducing some of his New American dishes with a worldly twist, like homemade chicken pot pie, a Vietnamese-style lamb burger, curry pumpkin soup, a Hawaiian poke-style tuna tartare, and the ultra-decadent truffle crawfish mac ‘n cheese. Tydeman was also intent on including a not-so-traditional clam chowder by creating a Manhattan-style tomato based chowder stocked with PEI mussels and chunks of Baker’s bacon.
“It’s been a blast creating dishes around certain beer styles, there are so many different combinations of flavors and textures that beer and food can both play off each other,” says Tydeman. He’s currently working on dishes for a five course beer and sparkling wine collaboration dinner between Alvarado Street and Caracciolli Cellars on New Year’s Eve, to be held at the brewery.

The 2015 Quickbooks Connect Conference was held on November 2-4th in Downtown San Jose this year. The conference brings together small business owners, entrepreneurs, accounting professionals, and developers for QuickBooks expert talks, training, hands-on workshops, networking, and more.
Downtown Campbell was well represented at the conference. Andrea Parks and Randy Musterer, the owners of Frost Cupcake Factory and Sushi [confidential] were on the scene and helped lead a breakout session on managing employees in a small business. Even more cool was that Oprah Winfrey was there giving the keynote address and Sushi Randy got a special shout out by Oprah and got to meet with Oprah one on one after the keynote!
Surreal moments happen from time to time. Fortune favors the bold and courageous. Special kudos and congratulations to...

The show must go on! On the afternoon of October 18, Hot Roux played Bon Ton L'Roy's Lightouse Smokehouse in Monterey. The only problem was that the whole town was without power. No electricity! KPIG radio was on site doing a promotion and they happened to have a "hand held" megaphone. The band borrowed the megaphone, strapped it to a mic stand, and proceeded to play totally unplugged. That's old school blues! A good time was had by all.
(Thanks to Hot Roux's Facebook page for this great story! Click the link to watch the video.)
